No we’re not. This is going to be much, much worse. Remember that Carter, as dopey as he was, actually deregulated industry and cut taxes. He was headed in the right direction on some things. And as preachy as he was, he was a Christian. We ain’t got none of that with Obama.

I agree. Carter was far moderate than what we’ve seen the past four years. I personally think the more apt comparison here is Mike Dukakis. Far left, imperious and cold, ideologically rigid. I’ve no doubt that a Dukakis win in 88 would have looked an awful lot like the past four years.
